Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 348: Super Large Project (Subscription Request)
In the early morning of July 28, 1976.

Zhao Mancang, who couldn't sleep, came to the capital city again and knocked on the gate of Wei Huayong's house.

Old Wei was not asleep at this time and was very surprised by Zhao Mancang's sudden visit.

After taking a few sips of wine, Wei Huayong suddenly asked curiously:

"Mancang, is there something wrong with you?"

If nothing happened, Zhao Mancang would not have come to him for a drink at this time.

After all, he knew that Zhao Mancang was not a person who liked to drink, and he didn't like to share his thoughts with others.

Zhao Mancang shook his head and did not speak directly. After a while, he asked:
"Old Wei, I don't know why, I just feel uncomfortable. You know, I can't sleep these days. I dream every day, and a lot of big things happen in my dreams."

He also mentioned the dream to his leaders, but they obviously did not believe his "nonsense".

Wei Huayong would not believe it either. Instead, he comforted him and told him not to work so hard and to pay attention to the balance between work and rest.

Well, it's useless to say that.

But soon, as time went by, Zhao Mancang and his friends could no longer drink.

The earth is shaking!!!

Suddenly, the earth shook. Zhao Mancang immediately pulled Wei Huayong out of the room and went straight to the yard.

"Old Wei, please stand still in the yard. Don't go back into the house."

At this moment, Wei Huayong was completely stunned. The next moment, when he came to his senses, he suddenly slapped his thigh. His son, daughter-in-law and the others!!!
At this time, Zhao Mancang had already taken out his satellite phone and started making calls and issuing orders.

The Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization needs to be dispatched immediately, and the Beijiang City in the south, the Futian fishing village, Hong Kong Island, etc., all need to be dispatched immediately!
No matter what they were doing, after receiving the order, the relevant person in charge sounded the alarm immediately.

In the city of Beijiang, it was around three o'clock in the morning and many people were sleeping soundly when they were woken up by the shrill alarm.

Those who didn't understand what was going on greeted with a grumpy look and very dissatisfied expressions.

But soon, the call for assembly came on the radio.

There was an earthquake in the capital and immediate support is needed.

The lights at Meiziba Airport soon lit up, and the five power plants in Beijiang City also became brightly lit at the first moment, and the entire city soon started operating.

At 4:30 in the morning, many pilots had already appeared at Meiziba Airport and were all gathering.

As soon as Zhao Mancang gave an order, all these military-managed units executed it immediately.

This is not a joke, but a very serious matter. Who dares to delay it?

At Lingjing Hutong, Zhao Mancang came over first. After making sure that everyone was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Leader, I know the epicenter of the earthquake is probably in Tangshan. We need to follow the previous disaster prevention drills and immediately organize rescue operations. Time is of the essence."

After he made the suggestion to his leader, he left without stopping and went directly to the Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization to take charge and arrange for the security department of the Tenglong Factory, instructors of the Jiaolong School, the security department of the Longxing Research Institute and other personnel to go to the rescue.

Both helicopters and transport planes must be started and sent directly there as airborne troops.

Instructors Chen Jichang, Li Zhenzu and Shen Anrong, who had limited mobility, also wanted to participate in the rescue operation, but were stopped by Zhao Mancang.

Zuo Changsheng, Pan Chengdong, Tie Wanzhong and other former members of the Jiaolong Army and current Jiaolong School instructors were all dispatched by Zhao Mancang.

They have stronger execution capabilities and are more experienced in such rescue missions.

So after they arrived at the disaster site, they immediately launched a rescue operation.

When we set out from the capital, it was already dawn.

July 28th is summer, and the sun rises earlier in summer.

Zhao Mancang and others who arrived at the scene by plane were upset when they saw the devastation below.

"Save people first!"

After Zhao Mancang and his team arrived at the scene, the first thing they did was to rescue people. In addition, they organized those who had survived by chance and assisted them in saving as many people as possible.

By seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was already completely bright.

Everyone could see the scene clearly and they all burst into tears because it was so tragic.

The transport plane took off from Beijiang City and soon arrived over the capital.

There was a problem with the runway at Nanyuan Airport and it was impossible to land, so the supplies could only be airdropped to the designated area.

Fortunately, Zhao Mancang was able to contact the pilots in advance and have them airdrop directly to Tangshan.

Near the State-owned No. 9 Garment Factory, Lu Gongliang was covered in dirt and one of his legs was broken, but fortunately, he was not hurt.

However, Lu Gongliang's son and daughter were nowhere to be seen, as was his wife.

But at this time, Lu Gongliang had no time to care about these things. He had to escape first.

It wasn't until he saw the rescue team arrive that he burst into tears.

He had been indifferent to the disaster prevention drill a few days ago, but now he regrets it to the extreme and can only bear the consequences alone.

Zuo Changsheng and his team brought Lu Gongliang back to the temporary rescue site. The latter saw Zhao Mancang in a white coat, but did not recognize him because Zhao Mancang was wearing a mask.

But Lu Gongliang was still very excited after seeing the doctor.

The country still attaches great importance to them and is able to send doctors to rescue them as soon as possible.

Soon, Lu Gongliang, who was lying on a temporary rescue bed, was transferred to another temporary camp. The bed here was no longer a temporary stretcher bed, but a hospital bed like the one in the hospital.

Even more advanced.

Because the supplies from Beijiang City have arrived at the scene, Zuo Changsheng and his team have organized people to help utilize these supplies.

Zhao Mancang had been busy all day and was extremely tired, but he still continued to hold on.

And during this period, there were several small aftershocks. Although the power was not very strong, it was very scary.

After all, we are now at the epicenter of the earthquake and the tremors are very strong.

"We must expedite the rescue. The optimal survival time is 72 hours. Immediately dispatch a large number of personnel and machinery. Don't miss this opportunity."

After Tie Wanzhong, Qiu Shigui and the others returned and said that troops had taken over the subsequent rescue work, Zhao Mancang immediately instructed:

"You are experienced and must get involved. Save as many lives as you can."

It was not until this moment that Lu Gongliang realized that the doctor in a white coat in front of him was the leader who had visited their factory a few days ago.

But it was too late to say anything now. He had already learned that his son, daughter-in-law, spouse and others were all gone.

Ugh!
Two days later, Zhao Mancang returned to the capital exhausted. He did not check the specific casualties, but it was definitely not too good.

The houses on Zhongguancun South Street are all fine and nothing has happened because the houses are relatively solid and sturdy.

On the contrary, the houses in several other courtyards, such as Caoyuan Hutong, suffered varying degrees of damage. Zhao Mancang had no choice but to find someone to help repair them as soon as possible.

If these courtyard houses are not repaired, they may be targeted by others and taken over by others.

"Brother Zhao, I'm worried about my younger brother..."

While having dinner in the evening, Hu Xiaohua and the others said worriedly.

"If you're worried, then go check on him. If that doesn't work, send a telegram to inquire about the situation. Tangshan is the hardest hit right now, but other places are relatively safe and haven't been affected that much."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, the three Hu Xiaocao sisters finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Lin Wan returned with Xiao Baozi and the other children. When she saw Zhao Mancang coming to pick them up, Lin Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was in Hong Kong Island, she also called Zhao Mancang every day. However, he was very busy these days, and they only chatted for a few words each time and then hung up in a hurry.

So Lin Wan was particularly worried and couldn't help but return to the capital.

Zhao Mancang didn't scold her. Just come back. It was all in the past now anyway.

This natural disaster was averted thanks to the help of drones.

The leaders above have already commended Zhao Mancang. Regarding this incident, the leaders have deeply realized that disaster prevention drills that seem to be ineffective on a daily basis can really play a very important role when a disaster strikes.

Although the accident happened at two or three in the morning, everyone was fast asleep.

But many people escaped as soon as they woke up, and those workers on night shift also ran out as soon as possible.

After all, they had just conducted a preparatory exercise a few days ago, so the memory was still fresh.

Zhao Mancang didn't feel much about the so-called reward. The best thing was to be able to save more people.

After Lin Wan and the others came back, the house became more lively and Zhao Mancang's mood improved a lot.

He stayed in the capital for more than half a month, and then returned to Beijiang City in mid-to-late August.

After returning to Beijiang City, Zhao Mancang marked out several areas on the map and began to build the factory.

Whether it is a garment factory or a toy factory, all of them must be completed before the end of this year.

During the construction of the factory, Zhao Mancang had already started recruiting people.

This time, he directly transferred personnel from factories in the capital, and then began recruiting workers from newspapers.

A large number of educated young people came to the city of Beijiang from all over the country, and in just a few months, more than 200,000 people gathered.

In September, Zhao Mancang had to stop his work and return to Beijing.

This time, he stayed in the capital for more than a month and experienced a bloody storm.

In early November, Zhao Mancang finally returned to the city of Beijiang.

When I came back here again, the city had changed a lot and there were a lot more people on the streets.

The garment factory has been almost completed, worker training is on track, and equipment is being debugged.

Located on the Tropic of Cancer, Beijiang City has no problem building factories even in winter.

In mid-November, five garment factories started production, and other factories such as toy factories also began production.

After more than 200,000 educated young people arrived, Zhao Mancang did not stop and continued to recruit talents.

Because Zhao Mancang planned to invest in some small shipyards, steel smelters, etc. in Beijiang City, mainly due to urban development and some subsequent arrangements.

He has a comprehensive plan for the economic development of Beijiang City and will definitely make proper arrangements.

These shipyards and other industries are labor-intensive enterprises and are the industries most urgently needed by the Beijiang City today.

After the Beijiang River was utilized, the demand for inland shipping vessels increased sharply.

Rather than purchasing it from somewhere else, it’s better to just make it yourself.

In addition, the water system around Beijiang City is also quite developed, and the demand for ships will not decrease.

Of course, Zhao Mancang had very strict requirements during the development process, especially in terms of pollution emissions and environmental protection, which can be said to have been achieved to the extreme.

As a result, the profits of these factories naturally decreased a lot, but it didn’t matter, Zhao Mancang had already prepared himself mentally.

Moreover, you don’t need much profit in the early stage, but the profit in the later stage will definitely not be small.

Because Zhao Mancang has already made relevant arrangements.

As 1976 was about to end, Zhao Mancang went to Sam's to inspect those enterprises in January 1977.

At the headquarters of Paramount Pictures, the first thing Zhao Mancang did when he arrived here was to ask the person in charge, Ferdinand Freud, to report on his work.

In the past 1976, Paramount's film performance was better than in 1975, with revenue increasing by $500 million and profits increasing by more than $300 million.

Zhao Mancang was not very surprised about this.

Today's Hollywood has completely formed a pattern dominated by four giants: Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures and MGM, followed by Warner Bros., United Artists, Sony Columbia and Disney.

As for the second-rate film companies, there are too many to count.

In the storm, only the strong will remain, and the weak will naturally be eliminated.

The situation has been completely determined, so as long as the four giants including Paramount maintain the current situation, they will definitely not decline.

Twelve years have passed from 1989 to 1987.

Hollywood's film technology has also made great progress.

After listening to the work report, Zhao Mancang asked about the progress of the super project Transformers.

"Boss, please rest assured, this project will definitely be released smoothly during the summer of next year."

A few years ago, Zhao Mancang had already arranged for people to start publishing Transformers comics, which were drawn by a comic company in Hong Kong Island.

The film adaptation rights were divided among Paramount, Universal Pictures and Island Films.

The three companies and Hong Kong Comics Company invested in and established a new company to jointly develop the Transformers project.

The toy factory project is firmly held in the hands of the Hong Kong Comics Company, but the profits from the film will naturally be given up accordingly.

Anyway, it's just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other. It's just for the sake of acting that Zhao Mancang made such a fuss.

After hearing Ferdinand Freud's words, Zhao Mancang nodded.

The Transformers project can play a huge role in the economic development of Beijiang City, so he must be very concerned about it.

Even Zhao Mancang's expectations for it are higher than his previous Jurassic Park project.

If he had not been paying close attention to the development of Beijiang City in the past one or two years, he might have personally directed the filming of Transformers.
